THE SKIES over Dursley were alight with fireworks and flame for the display at the recreational ground.

On Saturday, November 5, 2,500 people flocked to Kingshill Road in Dursley to watch the fantastic display, listen to live music from Rednock Swing Band and feast on barbecue food and beer.

The night of colour and sound was hosted by the Girlguiding Dursley District, complete with tuck shop and glow stall.

Overall the event raised £8,000 which will go to an array of sources, including Dursley Primary Academy, the Girlguiding Dursley District and Williams Syndrome Foundation.
